    These interviews are so interesting to see what a genius was thinking about before the last 28 years of technical innovations. This woman's questions were a bit general but she seems to be quite intelligent. However she has no vision for the future whereas Bill Gates is living it. Too bad that Microsoft never has a service for video such as RUclips. All of Gates responses were very eloquent and extremely quick. His poise and communication skills at the age of 36 is highly impressive.

    The age of a product's brand and identity does not in any way dictate its lack of usefulness and efficiency. Many products which haven't changed their face over time are still in existence and are constantly evolving. Heck, your up to date PC today will still run code written 50 or more years ago if you have the right operating environment for it (VM etc.)

    6:28 Windows For Workgroups lol! Gates original notion of your own Personal Computer never really anticipated the Internet. Some visionary he was! Networking in Windows was always a dreadful bolt-on hack. Meanwhile UNIX, a proper, industrial-grade, networking OS continued to quietly evolve and ends up running most the world's web servers and smartphones in one form or another. Windows OS in all its incarnations has been an irritating nuisance for desktop users and in 2020 Windows 10 is almost unbearable with it's constant unwanted updates. DOS/Windows was/is a "toy" operating system that should have been strangled at birth. Microsoft's browsers, from day one, have been AWFUL, most people hate using them and are loathed by web developers for being non-standard. In short, Microsoft is a shitshow, on top of which it's given one man so much wealth he believes it's his destiny to fix the world with his vaccines, which he tests on Third World populations.
